Simpson Supports Local Teams
It was a great week for local sports last week, with a fantastic night being had on Wednesday supporting York City Football Club against their rivals Hartlepool. It was great to see so many employees there and some of our clients came along to join us too. The game kept us on our toes the whole night but York finally secured the win with a last minute penalty, full time score York 3 - 2 Hartlepool.
We also continue our support for York Knights who at the end of the 2025 season were promoted to the ‘Super League’.
For the 2026 seaon we are sponsoring half back Danny Richardson.
Danny, who joined York Knights in August 2025 on loan from Hull KR has now signed a permanent contract with the Knights for 2026 and we are proud to sponsor him.
Thursday saw the opening match to the 2026 Super League season with York Knights taking on the current Super league Champions Hull KR.
It was just the start to the season York Knights could wish for with the full time result, York Knights 19 - 18 Hull KR.
A huge congratulations to the whole team, we can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds.
